So far one of my favorite things in all of Poland is the interesting way many of the older Polish
couples spend weekends.
In the middle of Warsaw they have these blocks fenced off
and portioned out into little garden plots.
The owners of these plots are VERY proud of them and see
spending their weekends here as a huge luxury.
Those who know me know that I can be a bit fussy when it
comes to where I sleep. So, you can see how it is a little difficult for me to
label these shacks, umm I mean houses luxurious. There is no plumbing;
which means no water or bathrooms. Every Saturday I have seen men carrying big
bottles of water to their garden houses!
But what they don’t have in modern convenience they make up
for in charm and beauty. It must be like stepping into a fairytale. Every time
I run by I imagine a new set of characters from the Grimm brothers’ acting out
their stories. And maybe I've imagined what it would be like to live there - well, until I had to pee.
I just think the whole concept is amazing and I really want to
be invited over for dinner. Except I wonder what they eat????
